Hello all!
I was just sat at my desk having a think about all the reasons I want to lose weight, and writing a list to try and keep myself going and to refer to when I'm tempted to eat big fat bars of chocolate. It made me wonder, why does everyone else want to lose weight?
I want to because I'm sick of putting clothes on & having big love handles - plus I used to be slim less than 2 years ago. I've put on weight because I've gotten lazy & I want to be the person I used to be. I don't want to be unhealthy and constantly out of breath. Plus I'm hoping to get a holiday in September so I'd like to look good in a bikini by then
I'd love to hear why everyone is wanting to lose weight & hopefully it'll remind anyone who's tempted to stray why they're doing this! xxx

I want to lose weight so I feel confident going out again and I want to be able to go swimming with my son - I wouldn't be seen dead in a swim suit at the minute. I am also bridesmaid for my sister next year.

OOoo..what a good thread! anyway, I want to lose weight to have more energy for my kids, to be able to wear strappy tops, to buy clothes cos there nice not cover ups!, to be healthy, and to have more confidence. to make my hubby proud of a slim, confident, and happy woman, and most of all, just for making myself feel better, and know that ive done it all on my own..and with support from you lot as well of course.

aww thanks jymfiend. i must admit, i do feel loads better. will feel even better when i lose the other 2 and a hlf stone though. the kids`are quite small..5 and 1,so they dont really know the difference, but im just pleased im heading down the right path, and will have loads of energy for them. hubby is a man of few words, so not really sure how he feels bout my weight loss...he keeps moaning that he's putting on what i take off so i guess he must notice something! men huh? lol

This is a great way to keep focused on our goals. Thanks for think of it Gymfiend.

I want/need to lose weight because I feel so unhealthy and I'm finding it difficult to get nice clothes. I'm hoping it'll boost my self-confidence too, but that will be a bonus!

I want to lose the weight so I can wear the styles I want and look good in them, instead of haveing funny tummy bulges.
I really want to have less of a chance of getting some of the heriditery nasties in my family, like diabetes. For some reason I've become more aware of the fact that being overweight can be a real health risk (it's not like I'm on borrowed time or anything, I'm only 19!) and I get determined to do something about it.
And, because I'm a bitter, bitter, person, to show all everyone else just how great I am.

I want to lose weight

A. So I can go into shops other than EVANS! for clothes
B. So I can stop wearing huge baggy jumpers and t shirts when it's boiling outside!
C. So I have the confidence to leave my house again and take my daughter to the shops/park etc
D. To feel better about myself when having sex :O

When I first started in January it was originally a bet with my elder sister to see who could lose a stone and a half first. Then my fiance and I decided to get married next August so I decided to get all the weight off before dress shopping. I did it and have ordered a size 14 wedding dress!

Good luck everyone

I used to like getting dressed and chosing my outfit for the day... not anymore it's what fits!!

I DONT LIKE THIS FEELING! This time last year I began loosing and at my refeed stage I got sick and went on steriods, I'm still paying for it now and would desperately like to have the motivation I did this time last year.

Iit was about 15yrs ago when I felt normal!

It's strange but I only ever see slim people and I want to be one of them. I don't have any self confidence and even when I'm at goal I'll still have many hang ups.
I'm looking forward to reaching my goal and it's great having everyone on here around :0)
